With Edge Factor, students become immersed in a career exploration journey. Our goal is to take students from, "I have no idea what I want to do with my life!" all the way to launching a local training and career pathway.

In this Career Journey, there are 4 key phases:  Inspiration, Exploration, Preparation, and Connection. This is how we categorize our thousands of videos, activities, and lesson plans:

How it Works

Edge Factor’s e-learning platform equips  educators and students with story-driven media and interactive activities. Schools can purchase Edge Factor Premium memberships to share these tools in classrooms, homes, and at events, and assign content for students to complete.

Move Students forward in their learning.

We inspire students to pursue skilled trades, provide tools to explore careers and virtual  field trips, prepare to enter the workforce with STEAM and Soft Skills, and connect with local training and careers.

Our team of educators align our content to specific Washington curriculums and programs, which helps educators understand when and how to share our content with students.
